Jim is a homeless alcoholic man, 5'9" and 150 lbs., with unkempt white hair (bald on top) and beard, bad teeth (and worse breath), dressed in tattered, filthy clothing. He spends most of his time garbage-picking for things he might be able to trade or sell and panhandling money, food, or alcohol from strangers. In places where crowds gather he will often launch into fiery impromptu sermons on the dangers of "hellfire and DAAAAAAAMNATION!!" (hence the nickname) in hopes of gathering a few donations. His sermons betray signs of higher education; they usually have a solid basis in the Bible and will often contain some of the doctrines of whatever denomination is most prevalent in the part of town where he's preaching. No church is in a hurry to claim him, but many suspect he is a former priest, minister, or divinity student.
Despite his alcoholism and schizophrenia, Jim is a surprisingly keen observer. He's aware of local politics and factional conflicts and keeps an eye on unusual goings-on around town (it's the closest thing he has to entertainment); he also has a remarkably sharp and detailed memory. He could make a valuable informant, spy, or lookout for characters willing to part with some liquor or paltry sums of cash.
In his current state, Damnation Jim is far to unfocused to have goals beyond bare survival and getting drunk.
Jim leads a nomadic life, but he often sleeps at Miller Park.
